We’re just days out from the launch of SNL UK, and hype’s building in the UK.
At a Sky event in London this evening, the show’s lead producer (read showrunner) James Longman was effusive in his praise for the Universal Television Alternative Studio UK and Broadway Video show’s young cast ahead of its launch on Saturday.
Longman, the exec producer of The Late Late Show with James Corden, explained how the cast had gone through a vigorous selection process that began with submitting a five-minute tape, followed by a live showcase, a “silent” studio audition and finally another five-minute performance, this time in front of a camera with no laughter track.
The successful crew were ultimately Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, and Paddy Young, who are now approaching the biggest moment of their careers.
